In-Universe:
The U.S.S. Defiant and the rest of the Alpha quadrant fleet (Cardassians included) heads towards Cardassia Prime to meet the retreating Dominion forces.
Production:
The Digital Muse V4 CGI model is used in this scene.
*This scene is a refresh from the previous episodes 'Tears of the Prophets' and 'The Changing Face of Evil', but without the planets, new CGI models (and/or textures) and a couple Cardassian ships in distant background.
